pregnancy test confusion and stress following termination.

hello, please don't judge
i had a medically advised termination early july and i started taking the pill after 2 weeks or so, my doctor advised me that it would be effective by 2 days. he said there would be no problems.
and so, my boyfriend and i had sex on the 2nd day of me being on the pill. (its not the combined one).
4 days later, my boyfriend began asking about the effectiveness of my contraception.
so, the day after, i spoke to a nurse as part of aftercare following my termination, she said because we had had sex under the full 48 hours the pill wouldn't be effective and it doesn't work that fast anyway! and to take the MAP and use condoms going forward aswell as continuing the pill.
so i went to the pharmacy.
the pharmacist assured me itd work although it had a low success rate on day 5. i bought it and then went to the GP who said it would have been a waste of money and it was too late to get an IUD fitted.
i'm frustrated and stressed at how much medical opinions differ!
i'm panicking a lot. nurse advised me to take a test to confirm negativity following the termination, so i took a pregnancy test on the 26th july which read as negative.
11 days after the unprotected sex i feel tired, irritable and close to tears with off/on cramps. i took a clear blue early detection test this morning and depending on the light i could see something incredibly faint, but then i couldn't so i'm not relying on that.
i just don't know what to do? i'm terrified that i am going to end up pregnant, angry at being misadvised and not being told how fertile i would be etc. after my termination i genuinely cried so much as i wanted to be pregnant again/wanted my baby back, but i don't want to be pregnant- not like this?
my boyfriend will go absolutely mental if it transpires i'm pregnant again and i think he may leave me.

@strawberrylime1- Firstly, in all honesty I am 100% not surprised your frustrated. It sounds like you have been told something completely different from every medical person you have spoken to!!
I probably won’t be able to help much as to whether you are pregnant or not but I do think there might be a possibility from what you have said. I recommend making another appointment to see your G.P and make it clear that you need to know accurate info on how/when you will have been covered by and also whether your pregnant. Try not to worry as it won’t change the outcome. ( i know it’s easier said than done!)

In regards to your boyfriend leaving you.... it takes 2 to DTD, it’s not just your responsibility and it isn’t as if you have done it on purpose! If he leaves then that’s on him and nothing that you have done!

Hope it works out ok for you 😘
